Wealth

12/16/2018

Certain philosophical people believe that working a job shouldn't be all about the money. Of course, most people would disagree because they need to work to pay their living expenses. In fact, a lot of people in this world must work over 40 hours a week just to barely survive. If you work long hours each week, whether it's for money or not, at least make sure you love what you're doing.

When you enjoy your work, you don't feel bored or tired. Instead, you feel energized and excited to keep working. There may be days when you feel too lazy to work but most of the time, you'll want to work. The idea of getting out of bed in the morning will not seem so painful anymore. You'll no longer feel tempted to play Fantasy Football or browse on Facebook. When you get to this point, you'll know that you found the right job for yourself.

The big question is, how do you find something that you're interested in and make a job out of it? Below are some ideas to help you get started:

1. What do you do well?

Can you think of something that you're good at? Something you do better than most people? Perhaps you're great at socializing with random people. If so, consider being a salesperson. Maybe you like cooking exotic foods and trying out new recipes. In this case, become a chef or food blogger.

2. What do you dislike about the job you're at now?

It's possible to love your profession but hate your job. For instance, if you have a nasty boss who's unfair and hovers over you all day, then it might cause you to dislike your job a lot. However, that doesn't mean you hate the work that you do. So, think about starting your own business while doing this same kind of work in it. That way, you can be your own boss and set your own rules.

3. Try new things.

It's okay to think and contemplate your future, but don't spend all your time doing that. Expand your horizons by taking up new hobbies or pursuing new things that you never thought you liked before. You might develop a hobby that'll turn into a business. If there's a course at your college that looks interesting, go ahead and apply for it even if it doesn't feel like "you". You may just surprise yourself.

4. Gather knowledge.

If you're interested in developing a new hobby, you need to learn everything you can about that hobby. Don't just aimlessly pursue it without knowing what you're doing. For instance, don't become a trader on the stock market simply because you're hoping to score some big trades and make a lot of money. You actually need to know about things like historical data, market trends, and company research. This will allow you to know which stocks are safe and which stocks are risky.

In conclusion, be prepared to work hard at whatever job you do. The idea is to simply enjoy yourself as you're working hard because that will make the experience more pleasant. In fact, if you really enjoy what you're doing, your "work" won't seem like work anymore, it'll be just another form of play to you.

Here's a great quote for you to ponder today. It comes from Wallace D. Wattles' Wealth Science Course. In it, Mr. Wattles wrote:

"Perhaps the most essential part of wealth-culture consists in finding the place where you will be happy in your work."

Think about it!

If you find yourself thinking a lot about wealth and material possessions, you're definitely not alone. Men and women have craved wealth since the beginning of time. Sure, in those days, "wealth" was measured by how much meat they had to eat or the number of furs they had to keep themselves warm. But even back then, people felt more successful when they had more stuff.

While the possessions themselves may have changed since the cave dweller days, the idea hasn't. People still view wealth as being associated with success and a feeling that we aren't nearly as burdened by all of our responsibilities.

Unfortunately, though, some people are willing to do just about anything to accumulate more wealth. They don't care if they have to break the law, lie, or commit some other kind of awful wrongdoing. Even worse, some people feel forced to act this way in order to "keep up" with the unscrupulous crowd.

So, how do you accumulate wealth without shedding your moral code?

- Question the motives of others.

The more wealth you have, the more people you'll see come out of the woodwork. Before you let them play a bigger role in your life, ask yourself if they truly share your moral code. Like George Washington once said, "Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company."

- Hold yourself accountable.

If you stray from your moral code, it's no one's fault but your own. You're responsible for your own actions. Never forget that.

- Remember what constitutes "true" wealth.

In order to be truly wealthy, you must have amassed everything honestly. Without morality and good conscience, your wealth isn't worth all that much. You may have to reign in your temptations from time to time, but that's better than sacrificing your morals.

- Remember that life isn't always pleasurable.

Unfortunately, life comes with all kinds of unavoidable "stuff". However, the pain you feel today will make you more grateful for the peace and success you get to experience later on. It'll also make you realize what's really valuable in life - and that's where the true wealth resides.

- Use your wealth for the right reasons.

Don't be like the politicians who say they're working for the "little guy", only to be padding their own pockets behind the scenes. Make sure that your moral code dictates how you approach every situation. As Abraham Lincoln once said, "Honor is better than honors."

Final point - we're all drawn to wealth, but wealth is drawn to morals and values. Remember that, and you'll be a great person who attracts great things.

If you're like most people, you can definitely use some extra money. After all, there are always going to be unexpected expenses that pop up, and there's always going to be something out there that you're going to want to splurge on.

But if you're like most people, you probably don't know how to get your hands on some extra cash. After all, your job only pays so much. So, what do you do?

You turn your passions into profits!

Sounds like the beginning of a cheesy infomercial, right? However, it IS possible to make some extra money by doing things you love. In fact, when you're doing something you love, it's easier to attract customers. After all, passion is contagious!

So, how do you get the ball rolling?

Start by thinking about what makes you smile. Make a list of everything you love to do. Maybe you love dancing, taking pictures, baking cookies, or making soap. Don't think about creating a business just yet. Instead, write down anything that pops into your mind.

Once you've got a list, brainstorm ways that you can turn the things on it into a product or service. For example, if you love taking pictures, you could upload them onto a micro stock site like BigStockPhotos and make money every time someone downloads them. Or, if you love making soap, you could sell your creations on eBay.

You could even turn your passions into a book. For example, if you love to climb mountains, write a how-to book for beginners and sell it on Kindle. Or, take all of those cookie recipes you've created over the years and turn them into a Kindle cookbook.

Now that you've got some moneymaking ideas, think about what it would take to actually carry them out. For example, would you have to spend a bunch of money upfront? Would you need some kind of special equipment or license? Do you have any connections that would make profiting off of one idea easier than the others? Does one idea require a whole lot more free time?

It may take you a few days to sort through all of the ideas you've come up with, but that's OK. By the time all is said and done, you'll have a list of bonafide moneymakers. Once you've compared them all, choose the one that excites you the most, and start working on it. As long as you've come up with a solid plan ahead of time, it won't be long before you've turned your passion into profits!

Profits that, if you so choose, can be turned into regular income. In his book The Personal Power Course, Wallace D. Wattles wrote:

"Even though you are making money, you are not successful so long as you are doing something you do not like to do, and not doing the thing you want to do. The man who feels that he is misplaced is neither wealthy nor successful. Perhaps the most essential part of wealth-culture consists in finding the place where you will be happy in your work. If you are not happy in your work, you are a slave."
